Chapter 42 Important Matters
Until now, I still don’t understand why the God of Land was angry?
Just seeing the God of Land getting even angrier, I felt a little uneasy and confused.
The land god was obviously increasingly dissatisfied with me at this time. He rolled his eyes at me and continued , "Chen Yang, you really have no manners at all. You are my subordinate now, but you still dare to address me by my name. This is simply treason."
The land god's loud shout made my face look even uglier.
The atmosphere became a little awkward at this time.
The Taoist priest still looked like nothing had happened at this time, standing by without saying a word.
I know that the Taoist priest will definitely not stand up and speak for me at this time.
I can only rely on myself.
But I am not a stubborn person. Since I have become the underworld's messenger, everything must be done according to the underworld's rules.
I have no problem with this, but I searched my mind for a long time and still didn’t know how to respond.
Finally, I thought of something I had watched on TV. In TV shows, officials are usually referred to as subordinates in a humble manner.
I didn't have a better idea at this time. After thinking for a long time, I tentatively said, "Sir, I have something to report to you."
As I spoke, I did not forget to observe the changes in the God of Land's expression.
As I said this, the frown on the God of Land's face gradually relaxed, and he suddenly felt confident.
The land god did not continue to wait, and suddenly said, "Okay, you talk, and I am listening."
"In reply to the Lord of the Land, there was a female evil creature causing trouble in our territory. I have already killed her and now I am here to report to the Lord of the Land."
The God of Land's pupils gradually dilated, and he was obviously shocked by what I said.
I even saw the God of Land's lips trembling.
At the same time, I could see a hint of doubt spreading in his eyes.
It seems that the God of Land still doesn't believe that I can deal with the female evil creature. I have to admit that this female evil creature is indeed powerful, but it shouldn't be enough to leave the God of Land helpless.
But if you think about it carefully, even a powerful person like the Taoist priest didn't immediately deal with the female evil creature. It must be that the female evil creature still has some abilities.
I feel my mind is still a little confused now. When I was dealing with the female evil creature tonight, I was also in a daze and had no idea how I killed the female evil creature.
The land god was shocked for a long time before he slowly blurted out: "Chen Yang, is what you said true?"
"Reporting to the Landlord, it is true."
I felt weird saying these words, but since the God of Land liked it, I had no choice but to say them.
"Do you have any evidence?"
The God of Land suddenly asked me back.
I didn’t know how to answer the God of Land for a moment, because I really didn’t have any evidence.
After all, I had killed that evil woman in the men's bathhouse for no apparent reason. I thought to myself that the God of Land was really difficult for me.
Maybe because I didn't answer immediately, the God of Land seemed to be unable to wait any longer and said, "Chen Yang, don't you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, I can't believe you."
"Lord of the Land, the female evil creature has been reduced to ashes. If you want me to produce evidence, I can't produce it. If you really don't believe it, you can ask the Taoist priest. When we dealt with the female evil creature, the Taoist priest went with me."
The God of Land had a serious look on his face when he faced me, but when he faced the Taoist priest, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face.
I was speechless when I saw the servile look of the God of Land.
I thought to myself, the God of Land is really a snob.
"Master, is what Chen Yang said true?"
The God of Land asked respectfully .
The Taoist priest had a faint smile on his face, looking calm.
"Lord Land, if what I say is true, do you believe it?"
After hearing this, the God of Land said without hesitation: "Of course I believe it. As long as it is said by the Taoist priest, I will definitely believe it."
When I saw the God of Land speaking like this, my eyes couldn't help but fall on the Taoist priest.
I am now becoming more and more curious about the Taoist priest's identity. I want to know who he is. The officials in the underworld are very afraid of him. I can sense this clearly.
Including at a time like now, as long as the Taoist priest nods, the God of Land will definitely believe me without any hesitation.
But the Taoist priest did not directly say "believe me", but slowly said: "Lord of the Land, I can testify to this matter, and I hope you can report this news to the underworld as soon as possible."
After hearing this, the land god hesitated and said, "This..."
"Lord Land, I am not discussing this matter with you."
The Taoist priest's voice suddenly became gloomy. After hearing that, the God of Land no longer dared to say anything. He immediately started to nod and fawn, looking very servile.
"Master, I know what you mean. I will report the situation to the underworld as soon as possible. Please be patient and wait."
"Okay, I will wait for good news."
The Taoist priest spoke in a straightforward manner.
Then he turned around and walked forward. Before I could react, the Taoist priest had already walked several meters away.
Just when I was distracted, the Taoist priest suddenly coughed: "Chen Yang, do you want to live here?"
The Taoist priest's words immediately brought me back to my senses. I quickly followed the Taoist priest and walked forward for a distance. In fact, I was still confused in my heart and didn't quite understand why the Taoist priest asked me to do these things?
Is it just to report the news to the God of Land and then pretend that nothing else happened?
I followed the Taoist priest for a while, staring at his back, and was very curious about his identity. However, I knew that if I asked him directly, he might not tell me.
I thought about it for a long time and finally decided to remain silent and wait for an opportunity to ask my cousin about the Taoist priest's background. My cousin must know more about the Taoist priest than I do.
"Master, where are we going now?"
I asked.
The Taoist priest yawned and said, "Go back to sleep."
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he quickened his pace. I followed him, feeling speechless towards him.
Back at the slaughterhouse, the Taoist priest said it was time to sleep, so we went back to the room and fell asleep.
My cousin, who had been waiting in the yard, originally wanted to say a few words to the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest did not give him any chance and went straight back to the bedroom.
So my uncle quickly came up to me and started asking me some questions.
I told my cousin about it briefly, but he only understood half of it.
It seemed as if he understood and then the uncle said, "By the way, Xiaoyang, I have to tell you something important."
As soon as I heard something important, I immediately became nervous.
